The guy was being polite with the front kick–they sometimes hurt but they don’t fuck you up. Not sure if he was trying to use minimal force or be polite but he had every right to throw a combination on Freddie instead

The bald fat guy doesn’t know how to throw a punch but he’s in the corner of a pro boxer?? What does he do? He’s definetly not a strenght and conditioning coach by looking at his 5ft6 230 pounds shape. His attempt at a punch was very pathetic.

Ozinator is def a convict and maybe on meth… how did he have “every right” to front kick a 55 year old legend with Parkinson’s in the chest. The opposing fighter was trying to take his gym time, would you expect him to say nothing and get take the mind f*ck. Hey looked like a bunch of bullies.

It doesn’t matter that Freddie is 55, suffering from Parkinson’s or that someone was taking his gym time. He didn’t get push kicked for saying anything…he was clearly coming at him and you don’t have to wait for someone to actually connect to defend yourself. Just because you may be clean right now doesn’t mean other people are high when you are not…meth head.

Why the fuck would Ariza need to defend himself like that in the presence of several security guards and his crew? I dont think Roach is stupid enough to act violent towards Ariza and Ariza should know that after working with Roach for almost a decade.

Alex Ariza (The guy who kicked Freddie Roach) was servicing vending machines in Las Vegas when Freddie Roach picked him out of obscurity to help Manny Pacquiao get in shape for his 2008 bout against David Diaz.

For 4 1/2 years, Alex Ariza served as Manny Pacquiao’s glorified aerobics instructor. Ariza’s duties included stretching Manny Pacquiao, giving him water, wiping sweat off him, and being the target of his pranks.

Things started to go awry when Alex Ariza began giving instructions to Manny Pacquiao in between rounds. Eventually, Roach fired Ariza, abd Ariza went to work for Manny Pacquiao’s next opponent– Brandon Rios. – Mark Capra

Racial pride, Elderly empathy, legend worship? I buy a lot of that when cheering for people but it’s all meaningless in assault and self defense. Like I said earlier, it was kind to just give Freddy a push kick. Legally, old man could have been blasted with a 3,2 for coming at someone like that. Did I say I’m a fan of Freddy’s? No? Because it doesn’t fuckkin matter.

I cant say it was self defense if the threat was from a 55 yo with parkinsons. I also cant say it was self defense if I could have walked away instead of talking shit to the guy who fired me.Ariza was scared plain and simple. He elevated the incident to the physical. Roach was being a dick yes but he was clearing out the gym for his fighter and they werent listening. He didnt really get nasty until he was kicked and they started teasing the fact he had parkinsons.

Yea Ariza’s argument was totally discredited when he said Roach cocked a fist back and was getting ready to punch him. The video confirms that was a lie. You can’t front kick a 55 year old for walking towards you.

doesn’t matter, ralph. Freddy wasn’t threatened or moved on and he moved on Ariza. And if Ariza was scared, it negates your argument that a 55 year old w/ parkinsons isn’t a threat. It doesn’t matter if people weren’t listening to Freddy.

It sure is hard to make a judgment on a short video without knowing if there is any animosity in the past between them ! I know I didn’t like Freddy being an older an ill man getting treated like that! I felt like appealing to a Mexican cartel (any would do) yo take those beaners for a one way ride and put them on “mundonarco.com” but that’s just without knowing the facts! And I’m not a Freddy fan either!! I just didn’t think it was cool!!

This was weird AF… They were over their gym time & gettin WAY too aggressive but it kinda sucks to hear Freddie say “Mexican Mother F**ker” like that as well cos it’s implying there’s something wrong with being a Mexican…. I guess it’s all GREAT hype 4 the fight either way? Would’ve looked better if they let the 55y/o with parkinsons swing 1st though IMO

what a pu**y, this idiot kicked an old man and than tries to claim Freddie should’ve acted like a professional, and who was the fatass screaming and punching like a girl, but than again they all act like rios, what an embarrassment that guy looked like on HBO, his highlight was that he has a dirty mouth in front of the kids… good pr work dumbasses
